RUNAWAYS.

Yesterday afternoon while the streets
were crowded with teams and people, the
team of Ernst Hilderman, of AshiPpun,
started on the run from Fourth street
down East Madison, in the Second ward,
and dashed furiously over the fence in
front of the Mannegold house next to
Evans Livery stable, landing on the
stoop and taking the front wheels of the
wagon with them. A little son of Fred
Karniel, living near the fair grounds,
aged S years, who was sitting in his
fathers wagon, seeing the team coming
jumped out of the wagon, but as he
alighted to the ground the Hildermann
team struck the wagon and knocked the
little boy under it, the hind wheel going
over his back, but fortunately inficting
DO injury although the wagon was loaded
with brewery grains.

The Milwaukee wheat market yes
|, terday was unusually excited and COM
pletely demoralized by the apparent col
lapse of the Chicago syndicate, that mar
ket having declined 1870 for June, or
from 92c to 1870. Several heavy fail
ures were reported from Chicago, which
crippled their correspondents here, for a
day or two at least. July wheat in Mil
waukee opened at S07sc and declined to
1870, but closed firm at 1850. Septem-
Der sold at 7554@79c, and closed at
1870. Flour was inactive and probably
slightly lower. Coarse grains were dull
and nominal. Hogs were firmer, ranging
at 485W5.15. 1

 Night Amid ed Light And a Large
 Crowd Previous TO Starting For

 Crowds were out in front of the Insurance building last evening waiting to see the Vet eran Bremen and the Sons of Vets start off for Philadelphia. At meeting held, Fore man Bishop made short speech, telling the boys what was expected of them on the trip.

Red light blazed at different points Illuminating the line. People were assembled all along the line of march. The fremen made e hand some appearance. They were neat and trim, and they will, without doubt, do much cred it to the city of New Haven. All wore their fatigue caps, together with nicely painted badges pinned to their red shirts. One of the conspicuous things in the parade was the "Vets'" " banner. There was large crowd at the dock who witnessed the departure of the Vets on the Northam.

DISAPPEAR ED.
Fond and Trusting Husbands
 Dilemma.

Fond and Trusting Husbands Di1emma.
 James Clarcey, jr., who for 8 long time
 has been one of the trusted employees of H. H. Olds 6 Co.,, is in trouble, his wife having
 gone and sold his household effects. Mr.and
 Mrs Clancy with their four children re-
 sided at 72O Grand avenue. The family had
 few boarders, and until quite recently MT.
 Clancy had the utmost confidence in his
 wife. When the boarders came to dinner on
 Tuesday they found an unusual state of
 affairs at the house. Instead of dinner be-
 ing prepared for them they found the house
 nearly stripped of furniture, which had been
 sold to Grand avenue dealer in new and
 second hand goods. Mrs. Clancy and the
 eldest of the children, young lady sixteen
 years of age, were away; the other children,
 two boys and girl not yet three years old,
 were left behind. As near as can be ascer- tained the facts appear to be as follows Among those who have boarded with the Clanceys during the past summer was one Hendricks, who hailed from Rochester, N. Y., a man evidently about % or 30 years of age, who is described as good looking. As stated last evening he was g blacksmith helper. About two months ago Wueu Mr aeuOElckS was temporarily aDS6nG from his regular work he was engaged in chopping tree when the axe he was using slipped, cutting his hand severely. After this he was consequently at the house most of the time while MT. Clancy was engaged at his business.
 Mrs. Clancy cared for the injured hand tenderly, 80 much so as to attract the attention of her husband and one or more of the boarders. This, as stated, was the first cause for suspicion. About this time we'll dressed and fine appearing woman appeared at the Clancey residence, who announced her self as Mrs. Hendricks, the wife of the boarder, who made no denial of being her husband although it does not appear that he had previously made any mention of his mat rimonial connections. As stated, Mrs. Hen dricks insisted upon her husbands going im- mediately back to Rochester with her, and both went away together the same day that Mrs. Hendricks arrived in this city.
 Mfr. Clancy evidently is of the opinion that his wife has had correspondence with Mr. Hendricks, but he made no accusations further than that MT. Clancy and the three children are at present with MT. Clan cey's parents at 217 East street. His greatest anxiety appears to be regarding the little girl Kitty, who is nicknamed "Tot," and who is motherless as it were. The furniture sold by Mrs. Clancy was worth about $400, for which she received about SIS. MT. Clancy has
 been in the employ of H. H. Olds & Co. for twenty-one years, during which time he has been one of the most trusted of the firms employees, it being part of his duty to
 make collections of large amounts for pies
 shipped by railroad ,and he is otherwise high
 ly spoken Of.
